Origins: Head (1)
Greek: Rho
Frequency: 9th most frequent letter in English (2)
"R" from Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755): "Is called the canine letter, because it is uttered with some resemblance to the growl or snarl of a cur: it has one constant sound in English, such as it has in other languages; as red, rose, more, muriatick: in words derived from the Greek, it is followed by an h, rhapsody: r is never mute, unless the second r may be accounted mute, where two rr are used; as myrrh."
